The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 384

When she saw Cedrick kneeling in repentance despite the fact that she was in the wrong, the anger within Gwendolyn was quickly replaced by guilt and sympathy.

Hence, she walked over to his side and gently poked him on the shoulder in an attempt to reconcile.

“Let’s stop fighting now, all right?”

Even though Cedrick snorted coldly and ignored her, Gwendolyn didn’t give up coaxing him.

“I didn’t eat anything after you dragged me back here, so I’m feeling a little hungry. Why don’t you be good and make me something to eat, Ceddy?”

“I’m not free. I’m being punished right now!”

Without budging an inch, Cedrick pulled out his phone from his pocket and prepared to send a message. “I’ll get Summer to prepare food for you.”

Nevertheless, Gwendolyn continued poking him on the shoulder. “But I prefer your cooking. Besides, if Summer comes over, Nico would definitely tag along. Don’t you have to get up by then? Otherwise, Nico would be sniggering at you behind your back, wouldn’t he?”

Cedrick’s typing fingers suddenly froze, but the solution quickly dawned upon him.

“I’ll tell her in advance that Nico isn’t allowed to come and she just needs to drop the food at the gate. After that, Ezra will bring it into the dining room for you.”

Gwendolyn was rendered speechless.

What a stubborn man. Getting through to him is just impossible.

With that, Gwendolyn bent down and wrapped her arms around him from behind. After taking his phone away from his hands, she nuzzled her face against his.

“Stop making a fuss. What will I have to do for you to get back up?”

Biting his lip, Cedrick could feel the anger within him diminished by the tenderness of Gwendolyn’s face.
